Listening to her questions to Theresa May this afternoon, regarding the NOTW scandal and alleged Met Police Force corruption, one wonders whether she actually writes her own questions, or has them written for her? Does anyone know if her office employs bright, literate graduates for such work? Or even not-so -bright graduates? Cooper criticised the Home Secretary, yet it is clear that Labour were warned on many occasions of the unhealthy relationships between the Met and the Press,yet Labour took no action. Surely a Shadow Home Secretary should have some form of memory? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.232.130 ( talk) 14:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm dont understand why they list her time as minister for housing starting in June 2007, when the guardian lists her starting in May 2005? [1] and she signs letters as the minister of state on 13 April 2006 [2]? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.180.38 ( talk) 23:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC) This page needs a photo Matthewfelgate 23:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
It is worth noting that despite being married to Ed Balls, Yvette has chosen not take Balls as a last name. Who would? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.224.129 ( talk) 22:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
She did not nominate and she did not even threaten to nominate, the election is nothing worthy of any note in her Biography. She supports her husband, really..yes.. Off2riorob ( talk) 20:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
This article a BLP is about notable things that have made her notable, negatives, like she did not do this and she did not do that do not belong in this biography. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I just use my unbiased common sense. She did not do anything, she did not nominate and she did not mention that she even might, it is meaningless in her life story. The press wrote a story that she might stand and she didn't yawn yawn, disappointing story and valueless in the biography of a living person. BLPs are about what people did that is notable not what the times wrote about what the times thought she might do. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
User rrius has reverted with the summary of ..There is no BLP issue here, so the onus is on Rob to justify deletion... I don't understand why ther user is mentioning BLP because I am not claiming any BLP issues at all, the content is not about anything Cooper has done at all and so is of no value at all in her life story, we don't add things the press has speculated that subjects did not do, I tire of such valueless banal discussion. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:20, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
You are wronger that ever. She didn't say that or comment that at all. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
And this ( your main claim to fame ) is a load of rubbish valueless editorial http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article7125955.ece. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Please don't add worthless rubbish to BLP articles as I only have to tidy it up. The way it is done, differs from user to user, you are of the school that asserts I have a citation so I can add it and I am from the school that seeks quantity content, we differ only in values. Off2riorob ( talk) 22:04, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't know who put her religion as Christianity but I'm pretty sure that she's an atheist, so I've changed it.
When she took her seat in Parliament she didn't take the Oath of Allegiance (which involves phrases like "so help me God") and instead took the Affirmation (which does not mention God and was put in place for those who don't believe in God).
Here's the link to the Labour Shadow Cabinet taking their affirmations + oaths, Yvette Cooper is about 1min50 in.

The first two lines of the Early Life sub-heading presently read:
I propose that the second sentence be deleted as it appears to the casual observer that this article is more about her father than the subject herself. Somewhat sad if we have to proceed in this world bench-marked against the achievements of our parents, even when they don't even rate an article-- Calabraxthis (talk) 20:36, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I've taken out the reference to Ed Balls from the lead, and moved most of the information to the personal life section. If editors feel it is relevant in its own right and deserves a place in the lead, by all means move it back. SocialDem ( talk) 20:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that her 20 years as an MP was summarized in just 4 lines,mentioning only her maiden speech and naming one committee she has served on. Being interested in foreign affairs, I added her foreign policy record writing: "Yvette Cooper voted for the war in Iraq, and later against its investigation. She further, consistently voted for military interventions abroad, such as in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria." adding what I think is a credible source: https://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?mpid=41902&dmp=6688. This edit was undone with the following comment: "Obvious POV pushing". While I understand the comment, I am convinced that only mentioning her maiden speech and one committee she has served on in 20 years time is an obvious lie by omission and therefore a POV pushing. I think that the rest of her record should be highlighted as well, I just don't have the time and the knowledge myself. Any advise on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaetan6371 ( talk • contribs) 09:23, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
